Morning light in the Italian provinces. The smell of coffee, fog between houses, the unhurried rise of the day. This piece catches those soft edges of waking life, letting the lap steel and Rhodes hold the air still for a moment longer.

In La Mattina Presto, the duo translates Pedretti’s poem of the same name into sound: the smell of coffee, fog between houses, a quiet street before dawn. The Fender Rhodes moves like morning air, while the lap steel guitar drifts above it like sunlight on mist.
Rooted in Italian provincial imagery, the track evokes composers such as Ennio Morricone and Giorgio Gaslini, blending nostalgia with spacious improvisation.
It sits between jazz and modern classical moods, ideal for mindfulness and slow mornings.
As the piece fades, you can already sense the current beginning to move, a prelude to L’Acqua, where time and transformation become the central themes.
